UNIQUE TASMANIAN WOOL SUPPLIES

Tasmanian house of Fibre supports the Tasmanian and Australian wool and fleece grower and sources unique yarn, tops and slivers and of course the raw fleece of Alpaca, Mohair, naturally coloured and white wool from Merino, Corriedale, Cormo, Coopworth, English Leicester, Polwarth, Angora Rabbit and more. The majority of our wool supplies are Tasmanian and Australian grown or created.

We have a small acreage in the Tasmanian highcountry between Railton and Sheffield, we grow Alpacas both huacaya and suri, coloured Cormo sheep, the only recognized Tasmanian Breed and Angora rabbits, this beautiful wool and fibre is then handspun and created into fine garments.

Tasmanian House of Fibre can provide many of the needs of the textile artist, knitting, spinning and felting supplies are available. We supply the Rolls Royce of spinning wheels, the ‘Majacraft’, also electronic wheels ‘the Roberta’ by Ertol and ‘the Jenny’ made by Inwood-Smith (both Australian made wheels)

Especially for those creative knitters we have the unique Tasmanian made Art Viva spotty top knitting needles, made from Tasmanian oak and the Australian made Swallow knitting needles made from milk, how neat is that, knitting is not complete without them.

We supply a gorgeous rainbow of dyed and blended tops and slivers, blends of fine merino wool, silk, alpaca and camel. The eco friendly natural colours of alpaca and wool are available in tops and raw fleece, colours include and are not limited to white, fawn, dark fawn, chestnut, grey, black and a range of browns.
